Sensitivity to medication
Sensitivity to medication is a symptom in which a person responds to much smaller amounts of medicine, compared to the average person of the same sex, gender, and racial/ethnic group. Sensitivity to medication can also mean a person has an allergy or intolerance to a medication.
